Thank you for your verbose relpy, I assume you are talking about Peter Beatie.

You make my point for me. Ms Molloy is a member of a political party, her membership of that party allowed her to be elected. She now decides she disagrees with the party and should resign immediately.

But no, she votes with the Govt. in favour of the dam, then spits the dummy and walks out causing her to lose endorsement at the next election.

There is nothing about her stand that is democratic, she is an elected member espousing labor principles. The only chance she had in parliament to vote against the Dam she declined.

If she opposes the dam let her stand as an independant member for Gympie.

Actually Steve,
Labour policy, which won them votes at the last election, was based on an environmental policy which Peter Beattie has now changed with his damned dam proposal. It is indeed Cate who has stuck to her environment principles and policy which allowed her to be elected at the last election. Don't forget the influence of the Green Party preferences on her success. It is Peter Beattie who has deserted his constituents and his labour Party election promises NOT to build more dams.

Sorry.

Green preferences had absolutely nothing to do with Cate's election, she recieved 48.45% of the primary vote and was elected on One Nation preferences. 13,904 votes 50.24%

The green preferences were not needed as she achieved over 50% of the vote after O.N. preferences were distributed.

She has trashed her best chance to actually achieve something by her actions, at least she could have lobbied in the party to change their minds. Now she has no chance.

Cate is just a bad politician, there have been many of them. I hope she enjoys her move to academia and that her political science degree teaches her something.

Steve,

What are you talking about? What labor principles? Espousing to privatise so essential public utilities by hook or by crook! As in reality left-right-n-centre churning party machines generated eders-of-zion cabal consequences. Hence the only chance for the civil society aspirants versus creed of greed hegemony rests on independent MPs sincerity to stand by the people and work together towards the participatory democracy. The time is nigh for the moral MPs to make a life vital decision -- breaking free from the tyranny shackles. Towards the future generations to come for the children of better tomorrow. Who without fear or favour be allowed to exploit their unique talents along the spirit of the enlightenment. While adopting straightforward clear pathway. Away from worshiping the machiavellian spin-doctor concocted vast zionist lies. Disseminated by clandestine might for the untouchables tyranny rule.

Leo.
When debate sinks to “Its all the Jews fault” its time for you to take your little pills. Your views are yours to espouse but don’t quote the world’s oldest conspiracy theory to make your obtuse point.

Steve,
One nation preferences to a labour candidate? You are kidding me surely!?
